I'm from London, I literally bought a drink, sat down and the security asked me to leave for no reason. I was alone and minding my own business.

Went there during karaoke night and had an absolutely horrible experience. The “emcee” displayed extreme racism as a woman who was not black proceeded to sing the N word multiple times was not stopped or accosted whatsoever.

THEN, the “emcee” (who was a white male) proceeded to say that “the reason I love Japanese women is because they love Mexicans”. He also called the said Mexicans who “loved Japanese women” “Cholos”.

Afterwards, he said “Just Kidding, I hate Mexicans and Asians”.

This is unacceptable under any conditions but especially struck a chord, considering we were attending this “establishment” with our extremely close friend who is of Japanese descent.

When we confronted him after the karaoke night, he literally said nothing and would not face us. His “Co-Emcee” talked to us for a small amount of time claiming that his “Emcee” would never say anything like that, however, once he heard what we had heard (along with others in the bar who heard the same thing) he seemed very concerned and claimed he would address it.

I personally doubt that any conversation will come from this internally given these two have likely been working together for a long time. I told the “Co-Emcee” that I will definitely never see him again but the very least he could do was to tell the “Emcee” to remove his anti-Asian comments from his “set” moving forward.

I would recommend any upstanding citizen or any one who is not a fan of RACISM OF ANY KIND to NEVER return to this establishment until they remove these two BOZOS from being a component of their nightlife.

And if anyone from the GATOR BAR staff is reading this, PLEASE understand that your patrons care about this and deserve more respect than what was displayed tonight.

VERY RACIST! do not go! they had a karaoke night and the host was ESPECIALLY racist. We confronted him and he had nothing to say and turned his back to us. It’s really a disgrace and sad this day and age! DO NOT GO!!!!

They allowed a white passing woman to sing a karaoke song that had the “n” word in the lyrics (which she fully sung) and the karaoke host said he “hated japanese people and mexicans”) so if you are someone who cares about inclusion and equality then DO NOT come to this bar.

I went about 11:00 pm. I had a lot of fun. Parking was great, drinks were lovely, bartenders were nice, band was lively.

I’m a female and the bouncer as well as another female that works there pushed me to the ground for no reason. I’m not the first person to leave a review about this yall clearly have a power trip going on over there & that was completely unnecessary

Great Karaoke bar and Night club in Sarasota downtown. The only club that is open late night in downtown also during the week.
